| − | :Difficult to visually sex this fish. | + | |tank_compatibility=:This is a large but peaceful fish, except with others of its own species. Only one Rabbitfish per tank (pairs are possible however if the tank is very large). They are generally reef-safe, but may nip at soft corals if not well fed. Can be kept with similar-sized semi-aggressive fish as the Rabbitfish is fairly robust. |

Because of its '''venomous''' dorsal spines (which it can raise when disturbed) care must be taken when handling to avoid the possibility of being stung. | |
